Columbus underestimated the worlds size and calculated that east Asia must be approximately where North America is on right now. They didn't know the Pacific Ocean even existed. He thought he was taking a route to Asia, and thought he had landed in India, which he called the native Indians.

For a shorter answer it was because most of Europe did not know the Americas existed..

Ket [755]

The correct answer is - A. Cecil Rhodes and Leopold II traveled into the interior, showing other European leaders that such journeys were advantageous.

Rhodes and Leopold II in a way opened the gates for the European leaders to have the desire and go to the interior of the African continent. It was not just because of the possibility to do so because the African tribes were by far disadvantaged technologically and military compared to the Europeans, but it was the treasures that the continent was offering and how easy was it to get to them and use them for trade and become wealthy. That lead to a major colonization of the continent by the European colonial powers, and they took full advantage of the natural resources Africa had to offer.
